Hayek's bastards w/ Quinn Slobodian

Quinn Slobodian returns to PTO to talk about his new book 'Hayek's
Bastards: The Neoliberal Roots of the Populist Right'. Whilst
politicians and thinkers of the new right are typically
characterised as fierce opponents of neoliberalism, Quinn explains
how the emergence of the populist right developed through a split
within the neoliberal movement itself. We talked about the
intellectual development of the new right, why their neoliberal
heritage is often ignored, and how their racism and obsession with
borders - though often seen as merely irrational and atavistic -
contains its own form of economic rationality.
